Other Voices, The Doors (no Jim Morrison), 1971

Holy crap, this is god-awful.

“You gotta try everything once/ you better take out some insur-ance”??

“I’m Horny, I’m Stoned” has a tiny bit of the Morrisonian humor.

Full Circle, The Doors (without Jim Morrison), 1972

I feel bad for hitting them when they’re down, but you must be fucking kidding me. This is dire. Never mind half assed, this misses the ass entirely,. It’s worse when they evoke the old Doors, like on “4 Billion Souls.” I like this lyric - “Year 2000 is the cutoff point.”

BONUS - The truly awful album cover
